Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in March 2007 near the western edge of the Roman settlement of Southwark, on Union Street, SE1. This phase of work followed on from an earlier evaluation undertaken in November 2006. The aim of the evaluation was to assess the impact of the proposed redevelopment on any surviving archaeological remains. The previous investigation comprised two machine-excavated trenches within a car park area at the western end of the development (known as Area 1) covering specifically 130 to 142 Union Street. The Roman soil horizon was identified, and a single feature was recorded: a boundary ditch of early 2nd century date. Significant truncations had removed much of the archaeological potential. The current phase of work covered specifically 100 to 112 Union Street and is known as Area 4. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of two trenches. Two features of Roman date were identified; a pit, probably for domestic waste material, and a linear cut feature, possibly a boundary marker. Both trenches revealed truncation by later activity, predominantly dating to the 19th century. |
